A computer system and computer control software is provided which allows for secure document delivery between remote parties, and control by the sender of the further distribution and handling by the recipient of an electronic document or other computer file. A file in an application may be stored on a server and manipulated by the file's native application. The recipient of the file information is given preferably automatic operation to view the user output of the server application, via a thin-client system. The recipient of the file is thus limited, as dictated by the sender, as to the operations it can perform on the document via the server application. Files attached to electronic messages may also be removed and stored on a server, thus eliminating any possible effect on the recipient machine by the computer file. Also provided for is an adaptable thin-client system which adapts to local environmental and use conditions to provide the correct degree of thin-client or local application reliance.

Embodiments of systems and methods model and generate open reusable, business components for Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) from existing client / server applications. Applications are decomposed into business component frameworks with separate user interface, business logic, and event management layers to enable service-oriented development of new enterprise applications. Such layers are re-assembled through an open standards-based, Native Application Services (NAS) to render similar or near identical transactional functionality within a new application on an open platform, without breaking former production code, and without requiring a change in an end-user's business processes and / or user experience. In addition, the same separated layers may form re-usable business components at any desired level of granularity for re-use in external composite applications through industry-standard interfaces, regardless of usage, context, or complexity in the former Client / Server application.

A system for adding functionality to a graphical user interface of a non-Java based, or native, application, using the Java programming language is provided. A Java window, or dialog, is configured to be accessible by a native application. While the native application is executed in a first thread, a Java dialog is launched in a second thread. Execution of the native application in the first thread is then continued. The Java dialog next calls the native application and registers itself with the native application. Also, the native code can control the Java dialog like other dialogs supported by the native code. A command for a Java dialog from a native application is routed to an invisible dialog. The invisible dialog passes that command to the Java dialog through a native interface connection. A very seamless integration between the Java and native code thus occurs. The graphical user interface operates and visually appears as if controlled from a single source of code.

A Secure Extranet Server (SES) provides for secure and traceable communication and document exchange between a trusted network and an untrusted network by authenticated users.

Image analysis is used to track multiple optical patterns, such as barcodes. Many applications are becoming web-based. However, web-based applications can have less computational resources than a native application. For example, a native application can be used to track barcodes based on decoding barcodes from a plurality of images. However, decoding barcodes can be computationally intense and cause lag when moved to a web-based platform. To reduce computational resources used for decoding barcodes, barcodes are tracked in several frames and decoded only periodically for a web-based application used to decode barcodes. Positions of barcodes can be tracked relative to each other to form a digital shelf. The digital shelf can be used to visualize a state of a shelf.
